As the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion, Nottingham Forest is racing against time to secure a key striker.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is eager to strengthen his attacking options, with Chris Wood aging and Taiwo Awoniyi battling fitness issues. While Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah has been on Forest’s radar, insider reports suggest that Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord has been the club’s top target.
Recent developments, however, indicate that Forest’s pursuit of Gimenez has hit a stumbling block. According to sources from VI in Holland, Gimenez has decided he prefers to stay at Feyenoord for another season, showing little interest in a move to Nottingham.
Despite Forest’s initial £21 million bid—well below Feyenoord’s £30 million valuation—the Mexican striker remains relaxed about his future, unconcerned about a potential transfer this summer.
With Gimenez seemingly off the table for now, Forest may have to explore other options or potentially raise their offer in a last-ditch effort to change his mind before the transfer window closes.
